Western Australia's biggest food relief charity is struggling to keep up with demand as an extra 15,000 people a month call on its services. Foodbank distributes food to about 55,000 people each month, but in the past two months an additional 30,000 people have needed help. It normally relies on donations but is being forced to buy staple supplies to keep up with demand. Charities say utility price increases in the recent state budget have not helped.Mon, 23 Jun 2014 18:28:00 +1000\xmlcontent\201406\4031415.xml720 ABC PerthperthCommunity and Society:Charities:AllCommunity and Society:Welfare:AllAustralia:WA:Perth 6000foodbankfoodbankPamela Medlan: Pamela Medlan-31.9234 115.8834Liesl Teschhttp://www.abc.net.au/local/stories/2014/05/19/4007206.htm?source=rss

A West Australian farming family is trying to raise the profile of Prostate Cancer.
Michael and Mary Nenke have farmed at Kukerin in the Great Southern for close to 45 years.
Two years ago Michael was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
He's one of the lucky ones. He's been treated and so far things are looking OK.
But in the last few years the family has been shocked to learn how many other wheatbelt farmers have had similar experiences with the disease.
The Nenke's want more research done on the what causes prostate cancer, because they suspect pesticides could be to blame.
They're worried more farmers are at risk.
If you've been touched by prostate cancer and want to share a story you can, contact the Country Hour on our facebook page or call the switch on 9220 2700.

The footy season is set to begin.
You would hope most teams did their long pre-season running sessions before Christmas.
But at five am this morning, six south west WA footy coaches took on a 500 kilometre run from Nannup to Manjimup.
It's called the Mates 500 Relay and it will last four days.
Their aim is to raise fifty-thousand dollars for prostate cancer and regional men's health.
Footy coach and Manjimup based farming consultant Paul Omodei is one of the runners and main organisers of the relay.
He explained to Celia Polkinghorne the run will hold seminars at various towns in the south west to raise awareness for men's health.Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:43:00 +1100\xmlcontent\201103\3170739.xml720 ABC PerthperthCommunity and Society:All:AllEducation:All:AllEnvironment:All:AllHealth:All:AllHealth:Adolescent Health:AllHealth:Mental Health:AllHealth:Men's Health:AllRural:All:AllRural:Agribusiness:AllRural:Community Development:AllRural:Livestock:AllCommunity and Society:Charities:AllCommunity and Society:Men:AllAustralia:WA:AllAustralia:WA:Perth 6000Prostate cancer clusters in rural WAhttp://www.abc.net.au/rural/wa/content/2011/03/s3170741.htm?source=rss
Tomorrow on the Country Hour we'll be hearing more about prostate cancer in rural West Australian communities.
Mary Nenke is farmer from Kukerin in the Great Southern.
Her husband Michael was diagnosed with prostate cancer in April 2009.
Tomorrow you'll hear their story.
Mary says ever since Michael's diagnosis, she's become aware of an alarming number of prostate cases in lots of farming communities.
She's worried clusters of cancer are developing in men aged between 50 and 60 all over the wheatbelt .... and she wants some research done into the cause.Tue, 22 Mar 2011 17:22:00 +1100\xmlcontent\201103\3170741.xml720 ABC PerthperthCommunity and Society:All:AllEducation:All:AllEnvironment:All:AllHealth:All:AllHealth:Adolescent Health:AllHealth:Mental Health:AllHealth:Men's Health:AllRural:All:AllRural:Agribusiness:AllRural:Community Development:AllRural:Livestock:AllRural:Sustainable and Alternative Farming:AllCommunity and Society:Charities:AllCommunity and Society:Men:AllAustralia:WA:AllAustralia:WA:Perth 6000Perth youths capture their view of the worldhttp://www.abc.net.au/local/photos/2010/12/14/3093056.htm?source=rss

Lotterywest is going to help some people attend.
This includes not for profit organisations, Aboriginal people and those of a culturally and linguistically diverse background.
If you are devoted to improving the health and well being of people in rural and remote areas of WA, maybe you should consider applying for one of these grants.

Over the last three weeks some wheatbelt farmers have had a couple strangers knocking on their door.
The two blokes are from the charity group Aussie Helpers and in the last few weeks they've visited over two hundred farms.
You might have heard of these guys before, Aussie Helpers featured on ABC TV's Australian Story as well as on Landline.
This is the first time the organisation has travelled to Western Australia.
They've travelled to Trayning, Wyalkatchem, Koorda, Beacon, Bencubbin, Kalannie, Merredin, Bruce Rock and Corrigin.
Founder Brain Egan says the impact of the drought in WA is a foreign feeling for a lot of people.
The organisation is planning to come back to WA in February and they're looking for some more volunteers.
If you want to become a volunteer or if you want to donate, Brian's number is 0488 123 400.

You'd think Bruce Rock would be one of them.
Bruce Rock is three hours drive east of Perth, on the edge of WA's wheatbelt and heavily reliant on wheat and sheep farming.
But right now the town's footy oval and caravan park are chock-a-block with camper vans.

What's the longest cycle you've ever done?
A few hours?
Or if you're a keen cyclist maybe you've been on a long tour ride of ten hours in a day?
But imagine riding for more than 20 hours for seven or eight days in a row.
That's what WA Farmers Federation communications manager Chris Marris will try to do as he attempts to break the Guinness world record for riding a bicycle across the Nullarbor from Perth to Sydney, that's almost 4000 kilometres.
He's hoping to break the world record which is eight days, ten hours and 57 minutes.
Wind permitting, he hopes to set off on August the 29th.
He's trying to raise money for the Royal Flying Doctor Service.
If you'd like to donate or if you'd like to follow Chris' progress, you can by going to his website just do a search for the Flying Cyclist.

If you are involved with a charity organisation in rural WA you might be interested in this, because the Newman Foundation has a million dollars to give away.
The Newman Foundation was set up, 27 years ago by the late Hollywood actor Paul Newman.
A hundred per cent of its profits from salad dressings, pasta sauces and mayonnaise, go to charity.
Over the years it has raised almost 300 million dollars.
Sue Home is an Australian based adviser to the Newman Foundation and she says this year it's trying to help small rural charity groups with car costs.
